I loved that they showed how Virgil's Eevee evolved into Umbreon; I wish the writers were always this consistent. I disliked the dam crisis though. I mean why were the Cryogonal freezing the dam and its surroundings in the first place? I hope it wasn't a "the dam was built near their habitat" or a "they were trying to help one of their own" scenario, because that makes little sense here seeing as Cryogonal are giant floating snowflakes. Anyway, if this episode hadn't introduced Virgil, it would've been complete filler.

What does being giant floating snowflakes have to do with helping one of their friends? Which seemed to be the case as one was stuck apparently, and they left afterwards.

Because judging from the pictures, the trapped Cryogonal was a "baby." Giant floating snowflakes - who by the way are genderless - shouldn't be able to reproduce. :x

And it seems that at least one of my predictions was correct; many of the Eevee evolutionary line scenes were redundant to the plot and served only as shameless promotion. It's becoming more blatant by the episode, as many of us have observed in the last few months. But secretly I'm just pressed that Virgil got an entire episode to himself just so that we could see what he and his family do for a living.

I really liked the episode. It was nice to me. Seeing all the Eeveelutions and Eevee made me feel so good. Reminds me of the old days. I kind of wish Leafeon did something, but hey it might be used against Ash or something. Eevee was so cute in the episode, this episode made me love Eevee ten times more.

It doesn't matter if they try to make them friendly in the end, I still think Cryogonal are creepy. And those high-pitched voices aren't helping...

If I'm not mistaken, I think Japanese Hulu may have this episode (and I'm pretty sure it's legal, it's Hulu after all, and it was in the sponsor part in the break, or the preview for next episode), but I think you need to live in Japan, and have paid for that service to be able to watch this episode.

This episode helped better understand Virgil's origins. Episodes are so much better when you know what they are actually saying. I liked how Davey teased Virgil about being reckless. It's interesting that Virgil used to be like Ash. Seeing how he is you would least expect that. Does that mean Ash will have to be Virgil's age to win a league?
